The ancient beauty secret made modern

If you’ve got more lipsticks than sense (we can relate), storing them in boxes often means never delving for those hidden in the back. Displaying them in this shop-worthy spinning stand ensures you will get a lot more use out of all of them – despite only having one pair of lips. Plus, no more faffing around in the morning trying to find that perfect red when you’re already running 10 minutes late…

A double-lined shower cap that will keep your hair totally dry

Some shower caps are so thin and flimsy that hair either flops out or just can’t fit in in the first place. This often results in wet hair. eSalon’s double-lined cap has a thick layer of plastic along with a layer of towelling to ensure a complete barrier.

A formula that darkens your foundation if you’ve got the wrong shade

This can come in handy for a whole load of situations. Take the differing seasons, for example: most of us require a slightly darker base during the summer. And sometimes, we might purchase a foundation thinking it’s the perfect shade and find when we get home in different lighting it’s a touch too light. The Body Shop’s drops solve this and actually work.
